Eric Greenhut became interested in art when he was a pre-teen. Although he started with a " paint by numbers " oil color set, he soon found that he didn 't want to stay within the lines nor use the assigned colors. Majoring in art in high school gave him the opportunity to explore various mediums and to study art history. He included art courses while pursuing his Business degree at Indiana University. In 1998, he started to develop a new painting style. He was greatly influenced by the Fauve Landscape Art of 1904-1908. He finds that the works of Andre Derain and Henri Matisse have influenced his style the most.
Eric Greenhut has entered his art in various competitions and has received awards for his work. He has sold his art to private collectors in California, Arizona, New York, Hawaii, and Canada. His art can be viewed at: www.ericgreenhut.com.
